Brief Summary   This study is a randomised controlled trial comparing the efficacy in pain control and functional improvement in radiofrequency ablation of articular branches of femoral and obturator nerve with intra-articular hip steroid injection  in chronic hip pain due to osteoarthritis of hip. This study shall be done in department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Regional institute of medical sciences, Imphal, Manipur.  The outcomes will be measured using visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and western ontario mcmaster universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) for functional assessment at baseline, four weeks, twelve weeks and twenty four weeks. The collected data will be analysed by SPSS 21 version. For calculation chi-square, independent t-test and ANOVA will be used and p value <0.05 will be taken as significant.
